About the course

A two day course that is highly recommended to beginners to learn the basics in minor surgery skills with the assistance of an expert GP and a plastic surgeon.

This course has been specifically designed to ensure practitioners meet the requirements of the 2014 DES Minor Surgery Contract and has been approved by NHS England formulated from the latest NHS e-guidelines to do so.

This highly practical and interactive course; which also features the Direct Observations of Procedural Skills (DOPS) Assessment (required by NHS England for all GPs practicing minor surgery in the UK) is led by Dr Apul Parikh, a GP with a special interest in minor surgery and dermatology and a qualified EBOPRAS (European Board of Plastic Surgery) plastic surgeon.

This course counts as CPD and also provides supporting information for revalidation. All participants will receive a bound copy of the course lectures and presentations, a text book to help aid learning and a certificate on completion.
